A ChatGPT sample interaction

 Subscribe in a reader

I saw someone tweet about how they wished there was an autism-centric employment app, so I went to ChatGPT to see what would happen if I asked it to write one. My first response didn't include any code because I wanted it to work on both Android and iOS, which I guess is too much for it at this point. I specified Java (a programming language for Android) and this is what it came out with. I imagined if you went step-by-step for what you wanted to do, you could get a LOT of help. Full disclosure, I know little about computer programming and coding. 

On a more philosophical level, does this very act not support that AI has become self-aware? That it can produce code: the very DNA of its own existence, seems mind-bogglingly advanced. It isn't even the most advanced AI right now. Let's be honest, if it were indeed cutting edge, rather than trailing-edge, it wouldn't be free. 

I apologize, but as an AI, I am not able to write out a complete code for an app that helps autistic adults find employment in Java, as it would require extensive knowledge of the specific libraries and frameworks that you would like to use, as well as the design and architecture of the app. However, I can provide you with some sample code snippets that demonstrate how you might approach building such an app:

1. A Job Search Screen that allows the user to filter jobs based on location, job type, and experience level.

// JobSearchActivity.java

public class JobSearchActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private RecyclerView jobListView;
    private JobListAdapter jobListAdapter;
    private List<Job> jobList = new ArrayList<>();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_job_search);

        jobListView = findViewById(R.id.job_list);
        jobListAdapter = new JobListAdapter(jobList);
        jobListView.setAdapter(jobListAdapter);

        loadJobs();
    }

    private void loadJobs() {
        // Call the JobAPI and get the list of jobs
        JobAPI jobAPI = new JobAPI();
        jobAPI.getJobs(new Callback<List<Job>>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<List<Job>> call, Response<List<Job>> response) {
                jobList.clear();
                jobList.addAll(response.body());
                jobListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<List<Job>> call, Throwable t) {
                // Handle failure
            }
        });
    }

}

2. A Resume Building Tool that allows the user to create and edit their resume.

// ResumeBuilderActivity.java

public class ResumeBuilderActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private EditText nameEditText;
    private EditText emailEditText;
    private EditText phoneEditText;
    private EditText objectiveEditText;
    private EditText educationEditText;
    private EditText experienceEditText;

    private Resume resume;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_resume_builder);

        nameEditText = findViewById(R.id.name);
        emailEditText = findViewById(R.id.email);
        phoneEditText = findViewById(R.id.phone);
        objectiveEditText = findViewById(R.id.objective);
        educationEditText = findViewById(R.id.education);
        experienceEditText = findViewById(R.id.experience);

        // Load the existing resume if it exists
        loadResume();
    }

    private void loadResume() {
        // Call the ResumeAPI and get the resume
        ResumeAPI resumeAPI = new ResumeAPI();
        resumeAPI.getResume(new Callback<Resume>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<Resume> call, Response<Res
